CHILD'S COMBIIIED ROTARY CHAIR AND PLAY-TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent. P t t d Aug. 19, 1919.

Application filed July 5, 1917. Serial No. 178,729.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIDNEY J OB PococK, a subject of the King. of GreatBritain and Ireland, and resident of Esher, county of Surrey, England,have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Childrens CombinedRotary Chairs and Play-Tables,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a childs combined chair and play table, andconsists essentially .of a base, a chair rotatably mounted on said baseand a play table, which table may, according to one arrangement, befixed to the base, the chair being rotatable in a central opening insaid table, or said table may be suitably secured to said chair so as torotate therewith.

The invention is illustrated by the accompanying sheets of drawings. Ofthe draw- 1I1gs: 1

Figure 1 is a plan view of the combined device with stationary playtable and rotatable chair.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of said combined device, partly in section.

Fig. 3 is a detail view showing how the pillars which support the tabledetachably interlock with the latter and also with the ase.

Like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

In carrying out the invention, and dealin first with the arrangementshown in Figs. 1 and 2, there is provided a circular base a mounted onroller or 'ball casters 6,- said base a on its upper or tread surface 0being provided with radiating ribs d. At a suitable height above saidbase,@ and carried by illars e mounted on the base is the play ta leproper, said table consisting of a wide annulus or fiat ring f providedon its outer periphery with a suitable. ard rail or fence g, and on itsinner perip ery with an upstanding bead it, said guard rail or fence 9and bead k serving to prevent toys placed on said table from beingpushed from off the same, the diameter of the central opening i beingsuch as to allow of the free rotation of the chair j therein on thechild pushin against the ribs d on the base a, or against the treadsurfaces 0 thereof.

The chair 3' is centrally and rotatably mounted on the base a, apreferred arrangement being a central vertical pillar 70 on the top ofwhich the chair is detachably mounted in any suitable manner.

The playtable f and its guard rail or fence 9 is made in halves,hingedly connected together as at m so as to fold up when detached fromthe supporting pillars which screw into both table and base, andfurther,

the chair supporting pillar maybe detachably fixed so as to be readilydismantled for packing or stonage purposes.

The combined article may be made wholly of wood, or partly of wood andmetal, or 1n any suitable material, and the constructional details maybe varied without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States is A childs collapsiblerotary chair and play table device comprising in combination, a base, aplurality of radially disposed traction ribs thereon, a two-partannullar table hingedly connected together, inner and outer rims for thetable, illars for detachably securing the base an talble together, acentral stationary chair supporting post, a chair dctachably mounted insaid post and having a back extending above the inner rim of the table.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
